Available now is a stunning, collector-grade 1975 Gibson Flying V in its original Ebony finish. This is a rare opportunity to own a mid-70s icon in exceptionally clean, "no-stories" condition. If you are looking for the classic "70s V" vibe made famous by players from the Scorpions to Metallica, this is the one.
Certified Authenticity: To provide absolute peace of mind for the buyer, this guitar comes with a professional appraisal/expert opinion from No. 1 Guitar Center (Hamburg, Germany). As one of the most renowned vintage guitar authorities in Europe, their expertise confirms the authenticity and condition of this instrument.
Condition & Integrity: This guitar is 100% original. No modifications, no changed parts, and most importantly: Zero breaks or repairs. The neck joint and headstock are rock solid. The finish shows mild, honest playwear that gives it a beautiful vintage character—expect some light swirling and minor nicks consistent with a well-cared-for 50-year-old instrument, but overall it presents incredibly well.
Weight & Playability: At just 3200g (approx. 7.05 lbs), this V is exceptionally lightweight and resonant. It balances perfectly on a strap and is a joy to play for long sessions. The neck profile is the classic mid-70s taper—comfortable, fast, and effortless.
Electronics: Equipped with its original T-Top humbuckers (period correct for '75). They deliver that unmistakable vintage bite, clarity, and harmonic richness. The pots and solder joints are untouched.
The "Time Capsule" Extras: This V comes as a complete package for the serious collector:
- Original Hard Shell Case: Includes the original Gibson purple-lined hard case. Please note that while the case has protected the guitar well for decades, it shows visible wear and some damages (see photos). However, it remains fully functional for storage and transport.
- Original Case Key: A rare find that completes the set.
- Period-Correct Strap: Included to match the '75 aesthetic.
- Expert Appraisal: Documentation from No. 1 Guitar Center included.
